Q41
The statutory inter-state tracking framework established to manage allocations under the 'Vansadhara Water Disputes Tribunal' (VWDT) handles resource friction between which states?
Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh
Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Karnataka and Goa
Tamil Nadu and Kerala
Explanation
The VWDT addresses water allocation and sharing friction regarding the Vansadhara River between the neighboring eastern states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Q42
The controversial 'Kosi-Ghaghara' link project is an interstate component under the National River Linking Project designed to benefit which specific agricultural command tracks?
The Arid Rayalaseema Basins
The Purvanchal and North Bihar Agrarian Plains
The Marathwada Drought Plateau
The Saurashtra Marine Marginal Strips
Explanation
The Kosi-Ghaghara link project aims to transfer surplus water from the Kosi basin westward across North Bihar to the Ghaghara basin, bringing immense irrigation expansion parameters to the Purvanchal and North Bihar agrarian plains.
Q43
The institutional tracking council known as the 'Cauvery Water Management Authority' (CWMA) was legally constituted to regulate resource allocations primarily among which states?
Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry
Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh
Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh
Explanation
The CWMA handles the complex allocation parameters of the Cauvery basin water resource among the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Q44
The proposed 'Chunachoti' dam framework is an engineering feature intended to act as a crucial storage structure under which river interlinking alignment path?
Mahanadi-Godavari Coastal Link
Ken-Betwa Interlinking Project
Damanganga-Pinjal Municipal Corridor
Par-Tapi-Narmada Western Loop
Explanation
The Chunachoti framework is planned as a structural check dam component under the larger Ken-Betwa river interlinking project to manage sub-basin transfer parameters.
Q45
The long-standing structural tracking issue called the 'Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal' (SYL Canal) dispute primary centers on water allocation friction between which two northern agrarian states?
Punjab and Rajasthan
Punjab and Haryana
Haryana and Uttar Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh and Punjab
Explanation
The SYL Canal dispute is a critical water-sharing friction between Punjab and Haryana regarding the construction of a 214-kilometer-long canal to connect the Sutlej and Yamuna rivers.
Q46
Which of the following left-bank tributaries of the Ganga system contains the specialized 'Kosi-Mechi link axis', mapping the country's first inter-state link template inside Bihar plain sectors?
The Gandak Basin
The Kosi and Mahananda Systems
The Ghaghara Corridor
The Bagmati Matrix
Explanation
The Kosi-Mechi interlinking channel transfers surplus water from the highly volatile Kosi River eastward into the Mahananda River system's tributary, the Mechi River, inside north-eastern Bihar.
Q47
The proposed ' Mahanadi-Godavari' link canal system intends to transfer surplus water primarily across which two sovereign state territorial limits?
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra
Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand
Explanation
The Mahanadi-Godavari inter-basin water transfer layout connects the surplus yield lines of Odisha directly down to the receiving infrastructure grids inside Andhra Pradesh.
Q48
The inter-state dispute tracking matrix known as the 'Mahadayi River Water Sharing Friction' primary involves which of the following regional groupings?
Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry
Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra
Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan
Explanation
The Mahadayi (Mandovi) river allocation friction coordinates structural alignment battles primarily among Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra over the Kalasa-Banduri diversion channel tracking scheme.
Q49
The proposed 'Ken-Betwa' link project requires the construction of a major dam to facilitate water diversion. Which of the following dams represents this primary engineering storage structure?
Hirakud Reservoir
Daudhan Dam
Polavaram Barrage
Pattiseema Intake Gate
Explanation
The Daudhan Dam is the core structural reservoir proposed under the Ken-Betwa river interlinking program, designed to hold the surplus water of the Ken River within Madhya Pradesh before its transfer.
